Six-in-ten voters say they watched at least a little of last Thursday night’s vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan at Centre College in Danville, KY. Among debate watchers, as many say Biden did the better job (47%) as say Ryan (46%)....

A few conservatives who have watched Ryan wipe the floor with Obama seem to have been a little disappointed he didn't score an overwhelming victory against Biden last Thursday night. But given the circumstances, it's hard to see what Ryan could have done to trounce Biden. Ryan tends to speak in paragraphs, not soundbites, and Biden's constant interruptions made it difficult for viewers to follow all of Ryan's points.

Despite these challenges, Ryan still won the debate in the minds of independent voters, according to Pew.
